Re: 2 bombs explode in Hua Hin town centre
The latest from the media (within the last hour):
"More bombs in Hua Hin, elsewhere"
"Municipality police chief, Pol Col Sutthichai Srisopacharoenrat, said the som tam food-cart operator in front of the beer bar was close to the first blast and badly wounded. She died of her wounds after she was rushed to hospital.
"Of the 19 [wounded], three are in serious condition and seven of the injured are foreigners – four women and three men", said Pol Col Sutthichai.
Two of the foreigners were reported by hospital officials to be British, while the nationalities of five others were unknown.
The toll could have been much higher. Bomb shrapnel gathered as evidence indicated the explosives were designed to kill and cause casualties"

"Thailand: At least six blasts hit two cities within hours"
"...Edwin Wiek, who has lived in Thailand for almost 30 years, said one bomb was near the London Bar, not far from the Hua Hin Beach.
He tweeted a photo of a planter that was blown apart in one of the blasts. ..."

"Four killed and at least 20 people injured in string of explosions in southern Thailand"
"Twin bombs exploded in the upscale resort of Hua Hin late on Thursday, killing one woman and wounding more than 20 others, including nine foreign tourists, and were followed by two more on Friday morning that killed another person. ..."

Re: 2 bombs explode in Hua Hin town centre
I would not suggest a holiday in Hua Hin for a while. Not only is the situation unstable but there is likely to be heavy security and disruptions for several days (if not weeks.) I live here and will not be going anywhere for a few days.

A bar manager I know tells me that they have been ordered closed and it may be Monday before they will be allowed to reopen. We'll have to wait and see how it really works out.

keep the reports coming in,we cannot rely on the media outlets for accurate reporting
Re: 2 bombs explode in Hua Hin town centre
The plant pots may have been the ones outside Raintree Spa, there was always some there, also that is where the Somtam lady used to stand.
Such a shame she was a victim of terrorism when just trying to do her job, I understand that she was very popular with the girls from the nearby bars. RIP.
